Sensations in head-LPR related? - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

pivotbridge · 05-17-2007, 07:07 PM

I recently started having some GERD symptoms. This message board has been a blessing for finding out what others go through. After doing some further research, I am also convinced I have some LPR symptoms as well. I oocasionally get hoarseness in my voice, but I am also finding that it seems some food/drinks will set off tingling and pressure sensations in my head...presumably due to the acid refluxing up so high. Has anyone else has these in their head and/or discussed them with their doctor? Thanks.

In my opinion the pain from GERD and/or LPR can refer to some strange places. I have had pain and tingling or even just the tingling anywhere in my chest and even armpit! I have had head pressure and tingling - even in my forehead! I feel that a lot of this is referred pain - rather than direct inflammation. It is all so odd and awful - little wonder that so many of us feel that we must have something terminal!

I have sensations in my face mostly left side, around my eyes, mouth, and some times quick sensations like a rush feeling on the top of my head. This new thing that started about a month ago is jittery chills like thru my whole body when I'm trying to sleep.

Do you have these chills before getting to sleep or do you wake up from them? I also have something similar that happens occasionally like this before I go to sleep. They don't last long. A second or so and maybe have 2-3 of them.

Your body temp drops right before you go to sleep so maybe that is it...I get a the chills right before I fall asleep too.
